However, IF the shows go into re-runs and the viewers disappear and the
sponsors go hungry, there would be some kind of settlement; however, it may
be too late for the writers, actors, etc. That's how the viewers could "flex
their muscles" I guess. I sympathize to a certain extent with the writers'
plight, but, if the shows go into re-runs, forget about my sympathy for any
of them in the industry. I can survive without tv but can they survive
without viewers?

They can't survive without writers, either. I think it's pretty clear that
the networks think they can shove any old thing on the air. However, I think
they're about to be seeing record low ratings like nothing ever seen before,
with no one at all to blame but themselves!

I can't believe these people who are blaming the writers.
